In what looks like a ridiculously fun season 9 premiere for ‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race‘, Lady Gaga is set to cameo as, wait for it, a Lady Gaga drag performer.
Captured via Twitter user Conor Behan (cheers Conor!) at VH1’s Drag Race premiere party, the preview shows Gaga rocking both a male persona, 30-year-old New Jersey native “Ronnie,” and the Lady Gaga drag. Layers and layers of drag, folks; it’s fucking magic.
We’ve known since early February that Gaga will star in the premiere, but it looks like at least part of the episode is predicated on “Ronnie” being a surprise. We suspect it will take the cast roughly 2, mayyybe 3 seconds to realise who this is.

Since Drag Race has already had two Gaga impersonators, it will actually be rad to see how long it takes for the gang to figure out that no, this is the one true Mother Monster.
Likewise, lets see how “one of history’s greatest performers and like my top 3 singers ever” handles the ultimate challenge: lip-syncing for her goddamn life.
